Okay Photoshoppers...Help with our logo...Please?

[JLanphear]

Man, I've noticed so many of you guys are awesome with graphic design and stuff...and I was wondering if you wanted to take a crack at spicing up our logo or making a new one.

Here is our original design by Andrew Campbell of Campbell Productions. Please note that a one color logo would be the best because whatever we use will probably end up being on vinyl stickers and such. Also if you don't think you can do much with that logo or just 4 letters you can try making something with CVBOYZ or Champlain Valley Boyz in it.

Like I said, I've noticed some logos made by folks like WiredMini and others and they look hot.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

[Fluid400]

here is a quickie, simple embellishment

[Fluid400]

and another just adding depth to your letters

[JLanphear]

Thanks for taking the time Bro. Our Pal Andrew can do some wicked things like that with our current graphic too. It looks sweet for sure, but the pro is when we have our graphics cut for stickers they're done on vinyl and unless we paid extra for some sort of airbrushing or layers we are pretty much limited to one color.

The help is appreciated tremendously though.

Keep the ideas coming...I WILL SEND A COUPLE FREE STICKERS OF THE WINNING GRAPHIC TO WHOEVER DESIGNED IT. How 'bout that??? :ermm:

[Fluid400]

HOW ABOUT THESE

[JLanphear]

WOW!!!! :eek:

VERY nice job man.

You're a pimp...we'll see if anybody else has some ideas and then we'll talk it over with the guys. Yours are gonna be hard to beat!

Thanks again for taking the time to help!

:o thanks.. I haven't seen much of your work, but from what I have seen you have it together as well.. :)


For drop shadows, right click on the layer in the layers pallete and hit blending options, or if you have Flaming Pear, use Filters > Flaming Pear >> Shadowlab...

[DantheEXman]

It wont show up! I can get in the blending options box... but what do i do from there... it shows the box in the preview part with the right effects... But i cant get the drop shadow to work! any help?

Click on the actual text to edit the properties..

[Str8Wicked]

[JLanphear]

Hondafox400- That's a great window sticker decal, I like a lot.

str8wicked- The skull rocks, is that your original artwork, or altered? I like the flames on the second one.

Right...I guess I didn't say it right...What I meant was basically the same thing RedRizza said...is the Skull his original artwork. I asked if it was copyright instead because I know that there are programs and stuff that you can buy that have graphics packs and stuff you can use.

We just didn't want to use something that could get us into trouble, or steal other peoples work.

No, I don't have a silk screener.. But you can send me stickers.. :)

[Str8Wicked]

str8wicked- The skull rocks, is that your original artwork, or altered? I like the flames on the second one.

Yeah I designed most of it. The skull I took from a font I have but it is altered in my own way so yes it is original. I do all my own artwork for my embroidery company I have. Doing stuff for many custom car shops, etc. has given me practice over the years... Let me know if you need line art or better artwork of it... Actually I can do better if I have more time. That was like a 5 min. quicky I did.....lol

here are some pics of some rides I have done. This one was the seats in my astro that I had designed

[Str8Wicked]

here's another one of the rear door..

[Str8Wicked]

One of my friends seats I did the stars in. The stars have chrome embroidered outlines with suede inserted in them over the leather seats....

[Str8Wicked]

Seats I did for a dayton wire wheel van.... lol

[Str8Wicked]

Woops wrong pic.. that was another van.. here is the pic fromt he dayton van I did..

Wow, those seats are sweet....How long does something like that take to do? I am guessing you have a special machine....I don't know much though.

If it would be possible to send me line art of that skull that would be sick...you can email it to josh@cvboyz.com .

Thanks for the help man.

-Josh

[Str8Wicked]

Yeah I'll send you some line art. Those seats don't take to long once I get the design done. The design and sizes are what is ghard to get....

Do you do your own Digitizing?

[Str8Wicked]

I have software not available to the public yet since we are a testing station for a few companies (remain nameless).

I myself have been digitizing since I was 14 so about 11 years now.
